Indoor swimming pools are very unique in their maintenance demands. Equipping the area with an indoor pool humidity control system is essential because the climate surrounding an indoor swimming pool is very moisture-laden. This moisture can aggravate the micro-organism growth, corrosion of building material, and create an uncomfortable environment for swimmers.
Additionally, using an indoor pool humidity control system helps in avoiding the corrosion of building materials, thereby extending the lifespan of the pool infrastructure. Moreover, maintaining optimal humidity levels creates a more comfortable environment for swimmers, enhancing their overall experience and reducing issues such as mold and mildew that could compromise air quality.
Effects of Uncontrolled Humidity
Indoor pools present a unique set of challenges when it comes to maintaining a comfortable and safe environment. Some of the most common challenges are mentioned below:
- Uncomfortable environment around the pool
- Strong and persistent smell of chlorine
- Condensation on vents/ glass panels/ AC grills
- Corrosion of interior due to chlorine induced corrosion
- Deterioration of windows / rotting away of wood
- Peeling paint, deteriorating motor joints, bricks, etc.
- Mould and mildew growth
- Fogginess
- Frequent accidents (slipping/ falling) caused by wet floors
- Increased maintenance costs
Causes of Uncontrolled Humidity
Indoor pools continuously produce large quantities of water vapor through the evaporation process. These water vapor leads to condensation which results in corrosion of metal and mold, mildew, fungus growth, wood rot and deterioration of windows, lights, furniture, etc. in indoor swimming pools. It also creates a highly uncomfortable atmosphere for swimmers.
Effective measures for indoor pool humidity control is crucial to maintaining both the physical integrity of the pool environment and the comfort and health of its users.
General Recommendation
The relative humidity in Indoor Swimming Pools should be maintained at 50-55 % at about 26°C during winters and 23°C during summers.
